Le Mont St Michel – Blue Moleskin Chore Work Coat

Le Mont St Michel – Blue Moleskin Chore Coat

An icon of French workwear. Since 1913.

The Le Mont St Michel work jacket is much more than just a garment. It is an icon of French workwear, bringing together practical design, enduring quality and a distinctive sense of character.

Rooted in the workshops and factories of early 20th-century France, this blue chore coat stays true to the spirit of clothing made with purpose.

Crafted from 100% cotton moleskin woven in France, its dense, hard-wearing fabric has a distinctive soft surface that develops character with wear. The traditional straight cut makes it an easy, versatile layer for everyday life.

Traditional Craftsmanship & Details

Natural corozo buttons, made from the seeds of the tagua palm, provide a traditional finishing touch. Three practical external patch pockets reflect the jacket’s utilitarian origins, keeping everyday essentials close at hand.

Double-folded seams add strength and durability, preserving the practical character of a garment originally designed for everyday working life. The substantial cotton moleskin combines a soft surface with natural resistance to wear.

Wear it over a Breton striped shirt with selvedge denim, layer it with a sweater on cooler days or style it as a relaxed alternative to a blazer. Unlined and adaptable, it is a timeless piece to reach for throughout the year.
